By popular demand we started a subscription sock of the every other month club. Folks were so enthusiastic about our hand dyed colorways and my sock patterns that we ventured into this arena.
Our first offering was sent out mid November, 2006. I'd like to thank all those who took the risk to knit this adventure with me. You are wonderful!
Each month brought a unique pattern with enough yarn to make up to a large pair of women's socks or up to a medium pair of men's. Directions are for 2 women's sizes. Most of the socks will be using a #2dpn. Those of you who do Magic Loop can easily translate. All patterns come in a clear plastic sheet protector.
